She was blindfolded on some sort of cold concrete floor when she regained conscious. She heard someone say to remove her blindfold, she assumed that she was abducted but had faith that her dad will come to free her.

Once the blindfold was removed, she tried adjusting her eyes to the sudden influx of bright light, squinting to see clearly her eyes focused on the person sitting on throne like seat; Katsumi; the favourite elder daughter.

"Lift her head".

At Katsumi's command, Ying Yue, whose luscious brown hair that was strewn about the floor was grabbed and held up.

Following the stairs she came to the dead-end. The stairs have finished but no path was infront of her but a wall. The stairs that led her up was surrounded by walls on all sides, panicking she raised her hand and hit a metallic surface. ....
